[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolt34:
I know this topic is not popular and most people may skip over it but please read. I am NO expert when it comes to this so if anybody can help out it would be most appreciated. I have a T-mobile My touch 4g( NOT the slide version) running ginger bread 2.3.4. I wanted to play a game called "Clash of clans" but it says i need firmware 4.1 or higher. I was bummed because T mobile stopped making upgrades for this phone a long time ago. I saw online from different threads and videos that I need to downgrade the firmware and go back to fre3vo 2.2. OK i'm fine with that. I had no Idea how adb worked so I saw a post on xda this site how to use it for dummies. I now know how to. I followed ALL steps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 on how I should go about this process. Everything went smooth up until the "Downgrading steps." I finally learned how to place the zip file named "PD15IMG.zip" in the root of sd card. Ok i had it. I also followed the manual downgrade routine. The phone went into boot-loader mode. The phone scanned the file and that took maybe 2 min before it asked me to update. I hit yes to update. I waited for the phone to update then it shut off. I guess the phone restarted to a black screen. The only thing I could see was the top portion bar where the battery and time info is. The rest of the screen was completely black. I took the battery out thinking that maybe the phone just needed to be restarted and this was the worst thing to happen. I turned the phone on and now the screen will NOT boot past the "t mobile mytouch 4g logo screen. I have no idea what to do from here. I went to go back to clockworkmod to see if i could repeat the process. The package scans like before then it asks me to update then I said yes. This is where the phone says its "updating" in pink letter on the side but NO progress is being made. Nothing happens and the phone seems unresponsive. I took the battery out and went back to clockworkmod. I tried to hit 'Factory Reset' but it just stays highlighted on factory reset and it wont move up and down. Nothing works. I took the battery out and re tried clockworkmod. I tried hitting recovery and then a "phone with a "green arrow" below shows up then the screen goes black and the phone vibrates 7 times then nothing else happens. I can no longer access the phone on my computer. Normally when I plugged it in the F: drive folder came up indicating I could change contents in the Sd card. I heard that you can change the setting using terminal and when i try typing "adb shell" it said it cannot find my phone and that my phone inst connected although it is connected to my computer. I have windows 7 Toshiba satellite so nothing is bad on the PC. Battery, cable, everything is fine no defects with the phone.

Also

A little information when ClockWorkMod is up. This is exactly what it says and this is exactly the color as it shows.

Since I can no longer access the phone on my pc I took the micro sim sd out and placed it in my samsung galaxy player 3.6 From there I can at least change what goes into the Sd card. I have searched countless hours and nothing else comes up. I CANNOT go back to the normal mode my phone used to be. I just freezes past mytouch4g screen. Please help anybody. I want to downgrade ginger bread 2.3.4 to fre3vo 2.2 so i can root and upgrade to jelly bean or something higher to play clash of clans since this phone wasn't compatable. Please somebody help. Can I ever use my phone again? Does this mean it's bricked? I'm an apple user so I have little experience with android. Somebody anybody help me out?

Here are a few links i used in the process
